Monte’s rags-to-riches Disney story dates back to last year, when he was transferred to the HALO Animal Rescue shelter in Phoenix from another shelter in Las Cruces, N.M.

“It’s our pleasure to help out our neighbours in New Mexico,” HALO tweeted on Tuesday. “We still have a working relationship with them in fact to help dogs like Monte get adopted. And now he’s a star!”
